Abstract:
The first study examined the psychometrics properties of the Spanish version of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF) in a clinical sample of females (n=185). The results revealed adequate internal consistency reliability of the Spanish CTQ-SF and a good fit of the factor structure to the original version’s five-factor model. The caring scale from the PBI was negatively correlated with CTQ-SF scales, and the PBI overprotection scale was positively correlated with the CTQ-SF scales. The second study examined the relationship of different types of childhood maltreatment and perceived parenting style with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) criteria, controlling for the effect of simultaneous adverse experiences and Axis I and II symptoms in a sample of 109 female patients. The results supported an association between emotional and sexual abuse and BPD criteria. The results did not support a relationship between parenting style and BPD criteria.
